In NYC, Occupy Rosh Hashanah
September 16, 7:30PMZuccotti Park, New York City
Celebrate the one-year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street and the Jewish New Year together!
September 17 (S17) is the Occupy National Day of Action. It is also Rosh Hashanah, the celebration of the Jewish New Year.
Remember Yom Kippur last year? (See the photo below.) Remember the power of 1,000 voices crying out in unison for social and economic justice in the language of the Hebrew prophets, from the midst of Wall Street? That definitive moment in progressive Jewish action was an expression of desire for a just world that continues to call out from within our hearts and souls.
Let's show the world that, with or without a park to occupy, we have not given up the struggle, and that we will not give up, until we have achieved the redemption of the world.
Join us in Zuccotti Park, September 16 at 7:30PM, for a potluck dinner and nondemoninational holiday service. Eat some apples and honey, learn some Occupy Torah, and ring in the New Year with a bang!
Cosponsored by Jews For Racial & Economic Justice and Jewish Voice for Peace
